We dive headfirst into the kraut-rock scene on the suggestion of @[ALFAMA] to bring back the craziest listening series there is.

Gila - Gila (BASF, 1971)

Gila was formed in 1969 in a commune in Stuttgart. The group was led by guitarist Conny Veit (Guru Guru, Popol Vuh), who, after an initial phase where the band sought inspiration in the style of Pink Floyd, steered the band toward more experimental sounds in the style of Amon Duul II and Popol Vuh. It was precisely Florian Fricke of Popol Vuh and Daniel Fichelscher of Amon Duul II who would later join the band, which here is completed by Frytz Scheyhing, Walter Wiederkehr, and Daniel Alluno. An objectively spectacular and very particular album, even within a microcosm already unique like kraut-rock, "Gila" is an album that combines in a composite and multifaceted way the acidity of MC5, the imposing sound of the organ in the style of The Doors, and psychedelic space in the kraut style. The groove of the bass is spectacular, as is the rhythmic section, which at times assumes those derivations of Indian origin with the use of tabla that make the sound even more characteristic, all inserted in the context of those years. Tracks like "Kollektivitat" anticipate Spacemen 3 by twenty years, and the ending of the 12-minute "Kommunikation" with the tail of the organ reigning amidst vibrations and cosmic sparks is simply sumptuous; the psychedelic waves of "Individualitat" hark back to the more experimental psychedelia of Northern Europe... In short, there are truly a lot of interesting insights and brilliant intuitions in this album, which, among those emerging from the kraut-rock scene of those years, is probably one of the least known or undervalued chapters, but as far as I'm concerned, absolutely essential at this point.

Forever Pavot - La pantoufle (Born Bad Records, November 10, 2017)

How lovely is the album by this French group! Forever Pavot is the band led by Emile Sornin, already acclaimed for his previous album "Rhapsode" from 2014, and here he delivers a near-masterpiece of experimental psychedelic pop called "La pantoufle," released by the French label Born Bad Records last November. Emile is a singer-songwriter and musician with great inventiveness, almost visionary, drawing inspiration from both French soundtracks of the sixties and seventies and that kind of imagery, as well as a psychedelic aesthetic in the style of Os Mutantes and experiments in the field of jazz. This, apart from his emotional writing and the blend of thriller, romantic, erotic, and ironic themes. Psychedelic pop carillons ("The Most Expansive Chocolate Eggs," "Le pantoufle est dans le puit"), cinematic ballads ("Jonathan et Rosalie," "Les cagouilles," "Les cordes," "La belle affaire"), jazz and bossa nova experiments ("Hutre," "Cancre," "Ca lance," "Le beefteak," "La soupe è la grolle"), and almost theatrical moments ("Père," "Au pas de l'assassin") offer a full representation of an artist who is both sophisticated and brilliant while being ironically playful, with an album that clearly crushes episodes of pop-psychedelia typical of Jacco Gardner or The Temples, demonstrating true virtuoso mastery both musically and in terms of experimentation and being real visionaries, a concept that cannot be absent in this kind of music. The devotion to artists reintroduced by Born Bad Records such as Vassiliu and Julian Perrin is evident. Chapeu.
